Toy Review - Generations Sergeant Kup

[lcz128]

I think at least two of us on the board own this now, so good time for a review? (:

Sergeant Kup!!
He's real! We have a Kup that's a picKup!!! Theoretically awesome, ey!? What can go wrong?




In my opinion, not much has!
I love where the weapon stows on the underside of the alt mode.
Transformation is nice too! I love the way the knees transform on this sucker and the way the torso rotates out is lovely. The shoulder pieces snap into place with some simple spring usage and it's got just the right amount of complexity to it. I think the one thing that actually let's it down on are the panels on the reverse of the arms. They don't really have anywhere to go- but I suppose at least they can be repositioned when you pose him.

I am not that big a fan of the face. He looks like he's in agony... Lol. A good solid figure overall with nice articulation and a decently involved transformation.

If you're tossing up between the united or hasbro release I imagine the united one's paintjob will make it that much more awesome! But personally I will be looking forward greatly to igear's replacement Kup heads.

(mods, any chance for a poll?? Thanks!)

Can't wait to receive my one in the next week or so... love it the minute I saw peaugh's Youtube review - will post own personal thoughts once I receive him.

Received my Kup today and let me just say he's an awesome toy, however he does have some minor shortcomings IMHO.

Alt mode is pretty cool - he resembles a modernised retro-style pick up truck.

Transformation is above average in difficulty and is a tiny bit fiddly.

In bot mode, he looks very nice and is very stable to pose in various action poses (due to big feet).

My gripe with him is the kibble hanging off his forearms and his limited shoulder articulation (also due to vehicle mode kibble).

Other than that, he's very cool and I highly recommend getting him - he's even worth paying full RRP for IMO.

8.5/10 (would have been a 9 if it wasn't for the kibble affecting his articulation)

For those that have this figure, what do you think?

I got this today, my thoughts:

- Vehicle mode looks nice
- Good colour scheme
- Am pleased with overall styling
